Psycho Disney Heroines

So instead of packing like I should have been (2 days!), I have been browsing the internet for a picture I can use as a skin for my phone (finally got a new one!!). Don't even remember how I ended up with the Google search that lead to this, but somehow these popped up:

Creepy huh?

These aren't the Disney Girls you grew up with. These two are part of a collection of Drawings done by comic book artist Jeffery Thomas, which contain twisted drawings of many Disney Girls, including Jasmine, Snow White, Meg, Mulan, Nala and Cinderella.

The photos in this collection, are dark, disturbing, imaginative, and highly entertaining. My favorite ones are the ones you see right up there (Alice is my wallpaper), along with Mulan, Jasmine and Snow White. This is something that hits with that tiny little dark spot deep within every Disney fan (you know its there, thats why you laugh when Ursala gets stabbed...or is that just me?)

To see the rest of the collection visit:

Awesome Words that aren't used in Everyday Life!

Alright, with only 12 days left till I leave to go to Orlando, I had a small Disney overdose today. So instead, I decided to start a new feature: AWESOME WORDS THAT AREN'T USED IN EVERYDAY LIFE!!

Todays word is: Brouhaha. yes, brouhaha. It is a real word, and that is how its spelled.What does it mean exactly? Brouhaha means excited public interest, discussion, or the like, as the clamor attending some sensational event; or hullabaloo. Why is is it such a cool word? Because its just hilarious to say. I haven't been able to say this word once yet without cracking up or smiling. Besides, think of all the places in everyday life that you can use it:

ex. With all the brouhaha happening out side, I didn't notice that my sister had eaten my Popsicle. Curse my little sister.

Disney Ex(yeah...can't get away from it :D): When the girl accidentally tripped Mickey and knocked his head off, there was much brouhaha about trying to explain to the little kids that she did not "kill" Mickey. (sad, but this is an actual experience of mine)

What was the worst place you've traveled to?

There was this one hotel that we were supposed to stay in in Washington DC during my 11th grade college tour. Apparently my counselor hadn't looked at any pictures of the Hotel when she had booked it. There was black mold in the bathtub. We didn't even stay long enough to look at anything else. All 13 of us decided to go find someplace new to sleep.

Ask me anything

Tiring

Its kinda hit me that writing a blog post everyday can be quite tiring, so I've decided to do one at least once a week. For now, I'm really tired and will post my top 10 tomorrow.

Top 10/5 Facts

So today I'm gonna post two different things today. The first will be my Top 10 list for today which is ~dadadadaaaa~ TOP 10 PARADES/SHOWS!! As a heads up, due to the fact that I haven't been to Disney World since I was 12 or 13, and I can barely remember what my homework was, much less stuff from then, all of my Top 10 lists are gonna be Disneyland based, at least until I get down to Orlando.

The second thing I'm going to be posting today is my 5 facts vlog. Apparently this is a big tradition for CP's blogs and I thought it would be fun if I do one too.

So first up:
TOP 10 PARADES/SHOWS!!
#10-Its tough to be a Bug: Located in CA Adventure, its a cute little show for those of us who liked "A Bugs Life"

#9-Captain Eo: It has Micheal Jackson in it and that is what puts it on the list.

#8-Believe...In Holiday Magic Fireworks Spectacular:A Christmas version of Disneyland's nighttime fireworks, IT SNOWS!! IT FREAKIN SNOWS IN ANAHEIM! To someone who has only seen snow 3 times in her natural born life, its completely awesome to see.

#7-Hunchback of Notre Dame Show: This show used to be where the Big Thunder Ranch is. Then called the Festival of Fools stage, it was pretty accurate to the movie and I loved watching Esmeralda spin around in her red gypsy dress.

#6-The Enchanted Tiki Room: Because all the birds sing words and the flowers bloom. Also a great place to nap.

#5-Country Bear Jamboree: Used to Love this show. I think that replacing it with the Winnie the Pooh ride was a bad move on Disney's behalf. *HIDDEN MICKEY* If you look up during the heffalumps and woozles scene in the ride, you can see the old talking animal heads up in the rafters.

#4-Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular: It doesn't hurt that Aladdin is one of my favorite princes, singing along with songs from the original movie along with witty pop culture references from Genie make it a good reason to take an hour out of a ride filled day and relax and enjoy the show.

#3-The Lion King Celebration Parade: They stopped this Parade in 1997, and I can still remember being 6 and being amazed by this parade. Like a mini version of the Broadway play.

#2-Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade: This thing looks like what would happen if I went to Wonderland and had one of the caterpillar's shrooms. The tinny synthesizer music and the multitude of lights is just so cool to me.

and the number 1 is:
Fantasmic!: What can you not like about this? Theres fireworks, water effects, almost any classic Disney character you can think of including Steamboat Willie, and a 60 foot dragon! Its worth skipping rides to stake out a spot in front of the Rivers of America for this show. This is a sum of all what Disney is, making it my number one choice.


Thats it for today's Top 10! Tune in tomorrows for my next list: TOP 10 Disney Movies!

Up next: My 5 Facts

Peace,love, and Cookie Dough,

Postponment

Ended up working on Persuasive speech for Class. Will post Top 10 parades/shows tomorrow.

Top 10 Rides

Alright, so browsing the web, I saw that a lot of people were doing fun things in their blogs related to Disney, so I figure: Why not join in on the fun? So until I leave for Orlando(26 days Whoot!), I'm going to do a Top 10 list everyday for as long as I can think of something to do a list on. So heres todays list:

TOP 10 DISNEYLAND RIDES!!(West Coast Version)

#10-Alice in Wonderland Teacups: Because nothing is more fun then spinning around in giant dish ware until you look like you'd fail the Breathalyzer test for a DUI.

#9-Big Thunder Mountain: One of the 3 Disney mountains (splash,thunder,and space), I've been going on this ride since I was 3, and at 18 I still feel the same way I did then: breathless,excited,and a little queasy

#8-Star Tours: I Love this ride! I always sit in the back so my feet can hang off the floor a little, makes me feel the effects better.

#7-Haunted Mansion-What used to scare me when I was little has become one of my favorite rides. I would definitely recommend going during Halloween or Christmas to see the Nightmare before Christmas Version.

#6-California Screamin-Other than Tower of Terror, the most thrilling ride in California Adventure. It reminds me of the old wooden roller coasters that used to be around, other than the fact that it shoots you out from 0 to 55 miles and hour in 5 seconds.

#5-Pirates of the Caribbean:This is on here because I enjoy nothing more than singing the pirate's song at the top of my lungs during the ride. Especially when my best friend Romani or my sister Dominique is with me and we can double the volume hehehe.....

#4-Toy Story Mania: It combines 3 of my favorite things: Competition, Video Games, and Disney. The fact that I win every time my family and I go on doesn't hurt either ;D

#3-Soarin Over California: Being a born and bred California girl, I was kinda iffy when I first got on here, after all it sounded like something my teachers would want me to see for a Geography Project. I was so wrong with my impression. Not only are the sights amazing and allow you to see bird-eye views of California that you would rarely see (I saw my house in the Staples Center scene XD ), but add the great effects, as well as the 250 foot IMAX screen, you really feel like your hang-gliding! Not to mention (SPOILER ALERT!) The last scene is Disneyland at night during the Christmas Parade and it kinda just reminds you of how magical a place it really is.

Tied for #2:

Tower of Terror-In my opinion, the scariest ride in the whole park. This is just a good example of Disney magic. It always takes me a minute after I exit to realize that I'm at a theme park and not really at one of the hotels over down in Hollywood. Also, plummeting down 13 stories can scare the crap out of anybody and I do love the thrill. Also, one of my funniest Disney experiences happened on this ride (though thats for another post....)

Space Mountain: The second of the mountains to make my list, this ride is fast, dark, and has really cool space age sounding music. Need I say more?

AND THE #1 DISNEYLAND RIDE IS:

INDIANA JONES & THE TEMPLE OF THE FORBIDDEN EYE!! Any fan of the movies (including me) will love feeling like being a part of the movies, Not to mention with the Jungle cruise right next door, and a foreboding temple your entrance to ride, you can't help but forget that your in the middle of Southern CA, and not at some ancient Indian Jungle. I fell in love with this ride when I was 6 and my cousins took me on it for the first time, and have been in love with it ever since. I even waited for 2 hours in line during grad night just to ride this. There has never been a time where I have been to Disneyland or Disney World and not have ridden this ride. Great Effects, fond memories, and just a ton of fun, is why I placed Indiana Jones on the top of my list.


Well that ends todays list. Be sure to check in Tomorrow for my next list: TOP 10 PARADES/SHOWS!

ALMOST THERE!

I have got to start paying attention more. I looked at the Calendar today and realized I only have a few more weeks until I leave! I still have a ton more things to do including:

1) get hair braided
2)figure out what I'm actually taking with me
3)pay attention in class so I can pass my finals
4)convince the counselors at my school that what I'm doing isn't something I made up so they can give me credits
5)pack up stuff I'm not taking
6)Convince my sister that while I'm gone to not paint it pink so I don't have to come back and kill her.

& Finally

7)Get together with my friends! I haven't seen a ton of my friends since my High School graduation (despite the fact that most of them are 5 minutes away)and I miss them. Not to mention I wanna have a going away thing since I didn't have one when I graduated(yeah being selfish here....ah well)

So yeah....ton of stuff to do and little time to do it. I gotta get my act together and like one of the songs of one of my favorite musicals would say: I gotta get whipped into shape! Thats all for today I guess.
